Yesterday was a very nice day because it was Andrew's big 21st Birthday! He woke up to Birthday signs all over the barracks and people wishing him a Happy Birthday. We didn't have to work, which made the day even better. He called his parents and talked to them for a while and I called Becca. It was so nice to get to hear her voice. Then Andrew and I spent a wonderful afternoon together just hanging out. I made him Velveeta Shells and Cheese (his only request for his birthday). Then he opened presents. He got the magazine from Emily, a card from Mom, and I drew him a picture. Today, I had to go to work for no reason. Tomorrow will probably be much of the same. Good thing we were only there for a couple of hours before they sent us home. (Crazy...I call this place home all the time.) I messed around on my computer for an hour or so and then took a wonderful nap. I even remembered my dream. I woke up and had one of those great stretches that you only have after a really good nap. Ahhh, it was great! I went and worked out today too. It was a rough one, but I made it through. Then I had a volleyball, which we lost, and a softball game that I kept stats for...we won 15-4. Go Team. I even got a compliment on what a great stats keeper I am. It made my night. Now, I've got to shower and hit the hay. Later.
